I’d like to know how to build a fast Paratext machine, specifically for conversions. Is processor speed key? How many cores will Paratext use? IfI’m doing the conversion using Paratext 8 is the answer different?
This question is prompted by a recent conversion I did it took five days to complete. I tried it first in 9.2 and the conversion failed at about version 13,000. I decided to try it again but this time using Paratext eight. The conversion completed, but after five days. The total number versions was approximately 28,500. I was using a dell 7550 precision workstation with 16 GB RAM and a core seven processor.
